I wrote earlier complaining about discomfort on my mountain bike seat.
I found a little relief from moving the saddle rearward about 1" and
raising it quite a bit. And using some Bag Balm I found recommended
here. Haven't got my new saddle yet.
So when I started enjoying the bike more I went on my 'long' ride,
pumping a little harder maybe. (OK it's only 21 miles, but to me it's
long). Anyway that night I awoke with the damndest cramp in the inside
of my right thigh. Quite painful and took quite a while to get it
relaxed. Next morning I felt perfectly fine. The day after that, the
weather was beautiful, I went on my 20 miler again. I felt the
soreness in the thigh a little, but it was not cause for turning back.
But when I got home and sat down to watch tv the thigh started feeling
like a tooth with the nerve gone bad.
I have a history of tendonitus in my shoulders and, for sure, don't
want anything like it in my legs. Takes forever to go away, if ever.
My leg feels good again today, doing ordinary stuff, but I'm sure a
good bike ride would mess it up again.
Does anyone else have experience like this with cramping?
